NICB Urges Minnesota Lawmakers to Turn Up the Heat on Insurance Fraud
Proposed legislation is essential tool for fighting no-fault crime
DES PLAINES, Ill., Feb. 13, 2014 — At a news conference at the Minnesota Capitol Thursday, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) expressed its strong support for the efforts of the Senate Commerce Committee's Working Group on Insurance Fraud. The group has spent the last nine months taking testimony about insurance fraud's impact on the state and is introducing a legislative package to combat the problem.
The reform efforts are an outgrowth of the 2012 Insurance Fraud Summit sponsored by the NICB and the Insurance Federation of Minnesota, which highlighted the increases in no-fault auto insurance fraud and other insurance fraud schemes in the state over the past few years.
